Nikki Garcia discusses her headline-making heel turn on Monday Night RAW (3:01-4:29)

Brie Garcia: I think something that was cool is you and John were the top trending out of Monday Night RAW in Boston, so you know, it definitely caught everyone’s attention and everyone’s loving it. It’s fun to see the debates online, you know, because I think people were sad that you decided to turn, but I think a lot of people are excited to see heel Nikki.

Nikki Garcia: I think there’s more excitement.

Brie Garcia: Yeah. We all know heel Nikki is probably one of our favorite.

Nikki Garcia: I agree.

Brie Garcia: But then, you know, I was thinking, I don’t disapprove. You know, a girls gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

Nikki Garcia: You know what I mean?

Brie Garcia: You know, and nowadays, there’s just, you know, it’s-

Nikki Garcia: It doesn’t always pay to be the nice girl, Brie. Doesn’t always pay to be the nice girl.

Brie Garcia: So this coming Monday night, when you’re at Madison Square Garden, are we going to be able to hear why?

Nikki Garcia: Yes, and so that’s why I’m not going to really say anything here, because I’m going to wait. I’m going to wait for a live mic and it should be in front of that MSG crowd and I’ll explain myself, because I got a lot I want to say, and there’s no better crowd to do it in front of them than MSG.

Nikki Garcia on hateful chants at Monday Night RAW & giving her all to her career (5:35-7:23)

Nikki Garcia: The hate’s so gross. Even some of the chants that I got last night, like it’s the same-

Brie Garcia: Okay, I thought I heard some chants I didn’t like when I was watching.

Nikki Garcia: But honestly, I think they got picked up more on TV because, or I was just too in my moment, but I didn’t even know. I didn’t even hear it, to tell you the truth, till I think mom told me.

Brie Garcia: No, mom didn’t even know.

Nikki Garcia: Oh, or then was it you? I don’t know. Maybe it was you guys on the group text, but Boston, I mean, Boston’s an amazing crowd. It was so fun.

Brie Garcia: No better crowd.

Nikki Garcia: Yeah, but it’s nice for these people with credibility that are speaking up, because I think at the end of the day, they all know. They all know how much I love this business, how much passion I have for wrestling, they know the work that I put in. You know, it’s not like I come on here and always say like, “Oh, when I had two days free where I didn’t have my son, I flew to Orlando just to get in the ring for five hours to fly straight back.” You know, I don’t talk about all that stuff all the time, but the people that know that know, and I truly love this business and I want to give it my all and I really loved what Biggie said because yeah. I don’t need to just sit around and always put people over. I know what I can do now. I know what my worth is and you’re going to start to hear it a lot more, and so you’ll wait for Monday for that, but what’s nice is I didn’t even, I haven’t even said a word and I love the recognition people are already giving. If you’ve seen it on social media or to talent, and so, girl, that’s all I’m going to say.
